noahpankow Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So, I was finally able to get into the 10.8 installer after failing miserably with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I was able to make it work using the Vanilla install method: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2012/07/how-to-install-os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-gm-on-pc-hackintosh/ Now that the installer launches it get the message: "There was a problem installing Mac OS X. Try reinstalling." Any comments on the obvious or not so obvious are much appreciated.

noahpankow Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks for your quick reply! USB drive formatted in MBR I found the Vanilla guide in the Wiki under 10.8. Thanks for your link, much better. I was concerned I botched the EDI and Basesystem assembly when i built the installer. To reach installer I had to delete all GPU kexts and use boot flag "GraphicsEnabler=No" DELL XPS STUDIO 435t/9000 CPU: i7 920 @ 2.66 GHz RAM: 12GB DDR3 HD: 250GB SAMSUNG 840EVO SSD GPU: NVIDIA GTS 240 1GB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301053-dell-xps-435t9000-installer-log-errors/#findComment-2063267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
